Default K-sport Rotors direction

Looks like me putting my K-sport rotors on the 'wrong way' has caused an uprising within my projects thread so...

does it REALLY matter which way they are facing if theyre not curved vane rotors?

The vanes have to take the hot air out from the centre of the disk out to the edges. Are you sure they are not curved?

If they are really straight vanes then it doesn't matter. But looking at the little you can see of the vanes in the other thread they look to be curved and if so then they look to be fitted the wrong way round.

The vanes are curved, the instuctions with the kit are misleading but these are the right way round, pic is of OSF

The rotors run with the grooves looking like theyre going the wrong way. This is important, the internal veins are handed so need to be fitted with the correct rotation.
